How do you still give BC a #1 over Kentucky?

They have more quality road wins. They have fewer losses. They are going to win the deepest conference in the country outright. Frankly, I don't think it's close. Honestly, I had a tough time not moving the Zags up another spot or two above KY and KU. What possible argument is there for Kentucky over BC other than the name on the front of the jersey?

Just because I know you hate these comparisons: They lost to Nova by 6 in a nailbiter on the road. Kansas lost there by 30. Kansas also beat Kentucky at Kentucky.

Do you mean regular season or tourney? cuz no way they win the tourney, and Kentucky should be able to take the SEC tourney. Kentucky gets the nod.

Regular season obviously, since that's whats more meaningful. Even so, you still haven't given me a reason why KY should be above BC right now for a #1 seed. Heck, I'd like to hear why they should be ahead of the Zags, Duke or KU really. I don't think there's a single reason. Losing at home is bad. Getting handled by South Carolina is terrible. They've gotten very lucky in several other games. The SEC sucks this year, worse than even my beloved lowly Big Ten. The only thing saving them right now is the name on the jersey, nothing else.

You're arguing something different than me. You're arguing that BC deserves a #1 seed more than Kentucky, which they do, they're a better team. I'm arguing that Kentucky will still get the #1 seed over BC.

These aren't my predictions, they are what I think should be, in a correct world. Gonzaga will surely get shafted as well, despite being entirely more deserving than OK State and others.

I see. In that case I'm impressed you gave Duke enough love to make them your #5 team overall.

I think KU will get a 1 seed. They have the #1 RPI in the nation and will win the Big 12. I think OSU will get a 2 seed. The game between these two today was a classic if anyone got to see it. I agree with the other poster that BC wont get a 1 seed. If Duke loses to UNC next week, they may even fall to a 3. There are so many good teams that this will be a fun month.
